Eumenes (Eumenes) coarctatus, s. l.

Eumenes (Eumenes) coarctatus (Linnaeus, 1758) s. l. * Material examined IRAQ: Kurdistan, Duhok, 5 km E of Ashewa, Mt. Gara, 1750–1950 m, 37.0158°N 43.3505°E, 30. V- 12 June 2024, 1 ♂ (MSVI). Remarks The taxonomy of Eumenes coarctatus is quite complex and still not completely resolved, as in the past it has been repeatedly divided into several species and subspecies (Gusenleitner 1999), which more recently were grouped under just two subspecies: E. c. coarctatus and E. c. lunulatus Fabricius (van Achterberg et al. 2023). Pending a revision that clarifies the taxonomy of its numerous forms, a broad concept of Eumenes coarctatus is maintained.
